Curriculum Highlights

Three distinct curriculums: informal (Engagement Model), semi-formal (English and Mathematics with a thematic approach), and formal (National Curriculum, adapted for individual needs). Curriculum is underpinned by the Learning Challenge curriculum with enquiry-driven, question-led units and 'Big Questions' every half-term. National Curriculum is used as a reference point, adapted for pupils' context and EHCP targets. Literacy and Numeracy skills are embedded across the curriculum; Makaton is taught as the chosen modern foreign language. Learning journeys are used to map knowledge across subjects with clear statements of what pupils need to know, understand and do. Assessment includes aspirational targets linked to personalised learning maps and EHCP targets; progress is tracked and reported to parents; three reports are provided per year. Careers information begins from Key Stage 3 and aligns with the Gatsby Benchmarks; work experience and other world-of-work experiences are integrated into the curriculum.

SEND Provision

A range of therapies is provided on-site, including Art therapy, Music therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech and Language Therapy.
